Unknown seal
I've got an unknown military seal long ago at flea market in Canada...
Any idea what it could be? Thanks. |

It's a printing block, a Canadian emblem of some kind with the design of crown used circa 1902 - 1952(you probably know that but I'm not sure from the way your question is posed).

Thanks for your attention I don't know much about the documents where this block could be used... On official papers?

I think that is a stamp for the Army Navy Airforce Club, a veterans organizaiton.

Printing Block
The printing block was used in a letterpress and would be used for printing on stationary, perhaps the top of letterhead or on envelopes. Letterpress machines became obsolete in the late 20th century with much to the associated text fonts and other crests and badges being sold off as scrap. Some of these machines are still in use by artisans with some of the text and badges being of limited interest to the design/collector market.
